[XPERIA X10 Accessories] x1tom:
Hi Junk,

First thing I did after ordering my x10 was order a leather SE pouch and some screen protectors. I bought the mirror ones on ebay. There were three in the pack and they are pretty tough, I havn't had to change one yet.

It hasn't changed the screen sensitivity at all, and the mirror looks awesome on the x10..

but!!

It is pretty rubbish for day light use, sometime seeing the screen is near impossible, I put up with it as I'm pretty much a night owl or working in a dark (ish) server room all day but it is bad when in bright light,

how can i get the removed sprint apps
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jerry43812:
By searching for them. They're all over the place.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dsMA:
root your phone.

a lot of the custom roms have them removed already but if u dont want to go that route then after rooting find the package names for the sprint apps. this can be done by searching online for them or issuing the following commands once your phone has been connected and in debugging mode:

adb shell

ls system/app

this will list all the files in that directory.

once you know the app name issue the following commands inside the shell (phone is connected to the computer in debugging mode and adb shell has been run)

rm system/app/<sprint app>.apk

[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Gingerbread is 3.0
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Got proof?

Last I heard it was assumed that 3.0 was GingerBread. I remember a time when 2.1 was Flan.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
It's all speculation. Google tends to stay pretty tight until they have a press conference or release party. Look at FroYo - it was a total surprise to wake up and find that they where dropping source into the tree.

The blog-o-sphere refers to Gingerbread as 3.0. I believe that Google has round-about-ly confirmed that the name is in fact "GingerBread", but we won't have a version number till they drop source in the tree again around November. Judging from the speculated improvements, it should be a major version number change.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
The numbers have always been right, the names however have changed, at least that's what I've seen but I'm always drunk

Its 2.3
[Hero CDMA General] Nanan00:
My guess is 2.3 is correct, jumping a full revision number such as to 3.0 would generally indicate a partial or complete rewrite of the core code.

3.0 is what the version info says - given its just a screen shot and leaks are hardly ever trust worthy, but i like drama. :D

I'm still going with 3.0 and not 2.3....
[Hero CDMA General] mrcharlesiv:
I actually kinda wish that Google would slow down a little. I'm scared to buy a new phone if it's going to be outdated in three months when Google puts out something new. I guess that's why we donate to our developers!
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Google has said that they will be slowing down after GingerBread(regardless of the version number). My assumption is they did not expect such rapid growth of the platform and users need a fully functional OS to make it worth buying into - A phone any more is not a quick purchase, there is a lot of investment in hardware and software. Where as with feature phones they where cheap(in comparison) and easily replaceable.
[Hero CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
From what I remember seeing, the next update is to have some big changes making it most likely 3.0. All speculation though.

Personally I'm happy android has been updating quick. Keeps the phones newer fresher feeling longer and fixes problems quicker. I came from winmo and never got fixes and the roms bored me. Plus I really hated 6.5.

I'm holding out until December to upgrade and debate on new phone or used evo. I've been out of contract for 9 months now.

[Vibrant General] phragg:
Just getting the Vibrant from a G1 I noticed that Amazon's Kindle comes loaded on the device. If I had some ebooks installed is there a way to load these PDF files or do you recommend another alternative to using viewing ebooks?
[Vibrant General] hpz937:
i have not tried using pdfs with the kindle reader but the books are stored in /sdcard/kindle/ you could try sticking it there and see if it works
[Vibrant General] phragg:
Put it in the dir /sdcard/kindle/ doesnt seem to be loading. Seems like it only registers pdfs/books that you have purchased from Amazon store?

Any other recommendations for a pdf viewer?

Downloaded the RFS and id love to read on the go ;p
[Vibrant General] hpz937:
I dont use pdfs too often so I'm not the best to answer, but I know there is an official Adobe Reader in the market
[Vibrant General] Astitious:
I use Aldiko for the books I can't read in kindle.
[Vibrant General] Mr_Tricorder:
The official Adobe Reader app is a really good PDF reader in my opinion and it's free.
[Vibrant General] Morbo66:
Same thing with Borders' eReader app. They don't allow you to read epubs or pdfs that you've copied to the phone/sd card manually. They only access your online amazon/borders library.

Aldiko is a good free epub reader.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlmueller:
I bought my Topaz from Vodafone Germany and it was shipped with WM6.5

I put HSPL on the phone and flashed several shipped WWE WM6.5 ROMs without any problems so first thx a lot for that great work :)

Unfortunately all the WM6.5 ROMs I tried so far had tons of bugs like I didn't get incoming calls although the phone was turned on and registered on the network all the time, the phone completely froze after ignoring an incoming call (I had to reboot it twice before it worked again) and while I was listening to music through a wired headset the phone still played the music over the built in speaker too.

Cause all of these problems I had with WM6.5 I decided to flash a WM6.1 ROM but when I tried that I ended up with the device not booting anymore.

It only showed the black TD2 screen and very quick after displaying the radio version in the lower right corner of the screen (in red letters) it rebooted itself. It did that in a loop and the only way to stop it was to remove the battery.

It's exactly the same problem as described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=693697

After playing around with different ROMs & radios I figured that it's not a problem with WM6.1 itself but with the radio versions.

As soon as I flash a radio version older than 4.48.25.20 my TD2 gets stuck in that reboot loop while with radio versions 4.48.25.20 and above it works just fine.

However the problem is that WM6.1 won't work with such new radio versions - it starts but then crashes after a few seconds so I need to get my TD2 to "accept" older radio versions in oder to get WM6.1 working.

Will CID/security unlocking the device fix this or is this some new kind of lock that can't be removed yet?

thx

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Just curious, do you hard reset after you flash?

There shouldn't be that many bugs in WM 6.5.

I purchased this phone on Ebay and didnt realise at the time that it came pre loaded with Telstra software which prevents me form accessing the net etc. I am with "3" and would prefer to keep the phone - can anyone help solve this issue?

your quick fix would be to Flash a new Rom

Thanks for that. Next question - is how do I do that, where do I go, do I need to do via computer/net or phone/net - never done anything like it. Cheers

[HD2 General] elinoc:
Wow. Could probably do this.

This is all about getting a phone for my sister who has vey poor reception at her farm in the country but where my HD2 works great. None of her three children who all have different types of phones gets as good as reception has the HD2. She wants to buy a phone doesn't want to get it home and find the reception is poor and having wasted her money. I could sell her mine (as I quite like the look of the Desire) and try to tweek it - or she could get one of her own from ebay (item 300447152858) which has already been done. Question then is, will it have the same reception - what part of the phone tells me that sort of info.
[HD2 General] Vampire2800:
the very first thing that you're gonna have to do is flash an older Telstra ROM after you HSPL it. then you can flash whatever ROM you want. i speak from experience. good luck!
[HD2 General] argentocruz:
no no no... The Telstra phone doesn't prevent you from connecting to the net, it simply doesn't have the settings to connect to 3...

Ring 3 and get all the settings and create a new connection on your HD2...
[HD2 General] harry655:
Actually, whilst you'll get your 3 sim working, you'll have problems getting any desent net connection

Advise, actually flashing HSPL & then custom rom. It all takes a bit of time reading & understanding how it all works but trust me its the best thing to do.

I had probs getting my 3 sim working properly but eversince I started using custom roms, on 1st boot the device picks up the 3 settings automatically & runs perfect;)
[HD2 General] harry655:
As far as reception goes, your best bet is to stick to telstra. Or 3 as a second option, which runs on the telstra network when roaming.

Cheers
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
that's actually more because the cooked roms generally contain the.global connectionsetup program that includes settings for most carriers than the rom itself. you can find it as a cab, which should work on the stock Telstra rom.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamboking:
what do i do here .I have a nexus one unlocked from google and i had the froyo 2.2 .in an attempt to root it i had to downgrade it to epe76 and then frf85b.But i am stuck on epe76.what is wrong,what am i doing wrong?i also copied passimg.zip to my sd card .it says no imge!!!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
You said you were unlocked? Then just flash whatever rom you want from the development section.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giantegg:
Long time reader, first time poster ;D

Same problem for me.

screwed up rooting my FRF91, so downgraded to EPE76, which a kind bloke here was good enough to put together as an entire package.

I think OP's problem is that most flashable roms seem to already require a certain radio, or they're just updates to an existing froyo built.

Seems a little difficult to find a stand alone rom you can stick straight onto your device, even with an custom recovery.

I'd love to be proved wrong!

I think another issue is that there's a lot of jargon in most custom rom posts, or just a general assumption that new users will know what they're doing. Of course, given the right research, most people can figure it out. But I feel your pain, OP.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamboking:
I mean it is unlocked from Google. Does. That mean I can flash any Rom *? Do I need to root it? I got it to frf85 it asked me if I wanted the ota and I did just that.. my reason to do so was just wanting to make sure I get the necessary information before another attempt.

[Android Software Development] OREGONMX:
Hey all-

I am very new to developing (and Java). Currently working on my 2nd android app so be gentle here. Is there a way, or a good work-around to display web-based pdf files with android? Basically I am trying to have one of the buttons in my program pull up a website that happens to be a web-based pdf. I don't believe WebView will support that.

I have tried converting the pdf files to .png but I loose all the resolution I need as I need the user to be able to zoom in and see the detail.

Is there anyway to either host the pdf file on-line as something else and/or convert it to something else to make it available off-line?

Thanks for any help
[Android Software Development] akapoor:
Just throwing this out there, but why not have the link download the PDF file to the user's phone.

Only downside I see to this is in the even that the user doesn't have a PDF "viewer."

Otherwise, I'm not aware of any real way to display a PDF within the browser.

If someone can work this out, I'd be interested in learning his/her technique as well.
[Android Software Development] OREGONMX:
Thanks for the reply- I did think of doing it that way but I didn't want to make use of my app dependent on another app- It sounds like that's what I will have to do though as I have searched high and low without finding a solution. I had wanted to make two versions of the app- in the free version the user would need web access, in the paid version the user could have off-line access.

With Adobe's pdf viewer on the market for free and most new phones coming stock with pdf viewers, I suppose it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Is there no graphic format I can convert a pdf to and then host on-line? Thank you again
[Android Software Development] akapoor:
Yeah, I know exactly what you are saying. Having an app-to-app dependency can cause quite a hysteria with users. They'll complain that the app is faulty and rate it 1 star.:confused:

My other suggestion would be to screenshot the PDF, page by page, and paste them into Photoshop and save the files as jpg's with the highest resolution. It will definitely take up a lot of your time if you have a lot of PDFs with many pages. Granted, you'll be taking up much more space, and the image will be loading a lot slower but you'll have pretty neat quality.

You'll have to weigh the factors on what you find more important - speed or quality.

If you don't mind me asking, what type of app are you making.
[Android Software Development] OREGONMX:
Thanks again- well just a few minutes ago my friend who is a bit more proficient with the whole coding thing came up with an idea that might just work-

he suggested taking the PDF and splitting it up into several different images and just creating an arrow button on the sides or top or bottom (depending on where in the image you are looking) and then applying an onClickListener to the buttons which will call up a different image view, which would be the next corresponding image/area of the pdf. I'm hoping that by cutting the pdf into small pieces like that and saving them as either jpg or png files I can retain the resolution I am after AND host them on-line myself for the free-app and give users the option to download the pdf to their SD card in the paid version- which would make my original idea a possibility.

My app is a program aimed at dirtbiking enthusiasts- surprisingly there is not a lot of crossover between the dirtbiking community and the developing community- I am all alone :o Ha!

I don't imagine I stand to make a bajillion dollars but learning android and java and actually seeing what I am doing work (sometimes) has been a fantastically gratifying experience. Just wish I had more time to do it- a 4-year-old and 5-year-old + wife + full-time job make it hard. I'm in no hurry though
[Android Software Development] akapoor:
That sounds fairly similar to what Facebook has on their "Touch" version of their site (touch.facebook.com)

If you view pictures within an album, you'll notice you get the arrows on the bottom left and right to keep switching between pictures.

Sounds like that would definitely work.

Keep me posted on your app. I give you props for even being on your 2nd app, as I've seen many people in your same situation (wife, kids, job) just give up after downloading the SDK. :eek:

But yeah, I'm interested to see how it turns out.
